While backwards compatibility has been promised for some time, Microsoft’s Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb confirmed on Twitter last night that all Xbox One users will get a software update starting Nov. 12 that will give them the functionality to play the older games.
Or rather, we should say some older games. With only a few weeks to go before the wide rollout of this update, Microsoft’s official list of backwards-compatible games is pretty small and lacks a lot of big-name titles from the previous-generation console.
The company says the intention is to add hundreds of games to that list, but don’t expect that on Nov. 12 you’ll be able to just dust off all your old green disc boxes and party like it’s 2009.
